A review by gamato
Almuric by Robert E. Howard

2.0

For being so action-oriented, this Howard story has a lot of slower points early on and ultimately contradicts some of its own commentary. In the beginning we get how noble and good a simple existence is, but later conclude its time to introduce some of the previously criticized culture. Howard was many versions of imperfect, but I think most of his other work is more reliably adventurous and consistent.

I've read a lot of Howard's stories, and this one has many familiar elements. It just reads more like a draft than a finished version, and is probably more of interest to people (like me) who find the author interesting in addition to his work.
